Crispy Garlic Ranch Roasted Potatoes

Crispy Garlic Ranch Roasted Potatoes make for a simple and scrumptious, crowd-pleasing side-dish.

Why has it taken me so long to share one of my go-to side-dish recipes? Honestly, no idea! I think I get caught up in trying to come up with something creative, fun and new when really, you’re probably most interested in the recipes I make all of the time. As I mentioned in my Tuna Cakes blog post, Jess and I are really putting an emphasis on featuring our tried and true recipes. Recipes that we make often and ones we know you’ll love!

My Crispy Garlic Ranch Roasted Potatoes might just be my husbands most favorite side-dish. It’s not uncommon that it shows up on our dinner menu weekly (we’re kind of creatures of habit). The potatoes are tossed in a homemade garlic ranch seasoning made of dill, parsley, onion powder & garlic powder and roasted to crispy perfection. Leftovers can easily be reheated on a griddle or pan OR served in an egg scramble, hash or egg bake.

If you’re new to our blog…Welcome! 🙂 We’re so glad you’re here and just so you know, we like to keep it simple around here with easy recipes and short ingredient lists. It’s our goal to help you spend less time in the kitchen so that you can spend more time doing the things you love. Now back to the potatoes…

Here is a quick step-by-step photo tutorial on how to make these easy Crispy Garlic Ranch Roasted Potatoes. Full recipe is below.

Place the potato halves cut side down in the ranch seasoned melted ghee in a 9 x 13 baking dish (love this Lodge Stoneware dish). Lightly brush the tops of potato using the ghee that’s pooled around the potato halves.

Seriously, how good do these Crispy Garlic Ranch Roasted Potatoes look? You gotta try them!

They really do make for the perfect side-dish that you can enjoy all year round because…potatoes are always in season! For a nicely balanced and tasty meal, serve em’ up with grilled or baked chicken, steak, salmon, pork, etc. and an in-season veggie of your choice. Easy and delicious!

roasted potatoes have been my LIFE SAVER so far on the whole30! Sometime I add them to a breakfast hash, other times to a salad for “croutons”, or with my dinner! These look so delicious and crispy! Need to make ASAP, as I love ranch!

Where is the ranch seasoning? You write “Place the potato halves cut side down in the ranch seasoned melted ghee in a 9 x 13 baking dish” I don’t see any mention of ranch in the ingredients. I’m confused.

Hi Linda, there is no ranch in this recipe (although you can use ranch for dipping). The mixture of dried herbs mixed with the melted ghee is what gives the potatoes the delicious ranch flavor. The herbs in this recipe are also what you typically use to make homemade ranch dressing. Hope that helps!

Ghee is essentially clarified butter only it’s a more purified version that removes 99-100% of the milk proteins and lactose leaving behind only pure butter fat. It has a high smoke point which makes it good for roasting or frying and lovely nutty, buttery flavor.

Yes, you can make these ahead of time though they will not be quite as crispy when reheated. To reheat and recover that crispness, we recommend placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 350F oven until heated through.

How are y’all ? Hope y’all are doing great. My name is Dollie I live in Sasche TX.. I came across your recipe and your website. I am recovering from anorexia that almost took my life. I am trying to research food that I can eat without being scared of fat or calories. Introducing great flavored with healthy nutrition . This recipe fits that. Do you have any other tips, recipes , or resources that can help me with my recovery? I apologize if this is kinda personal but just reaching out. I found your recipe on Pinterest . Thank you for your time.

I supposed you could though you may get a slightly different result. The bottoms should still be crisp but the tops, unless you flip them over, may be a little dried out. If you try it we’d love to hear how it turned out for you.

Hi! I made a variation of this recipe tonight. I used baby gold potatoes and had thyme in my fridge so I used that herb. WOW! They were delicious! My family loved them! Definitely adding to a regular rotation. Thank you!
